Single Best Waterfowl Shell Ever!
I have been duck hunting for 35+ years. I finally spent the extra money on these last year and am kicking myself for not buying them sooner.
I shoot a lot of ring neck's....NO cripples with these loads. I love them
My advice: Spend the extra money, well worth it.

don't waste your time
I always make it a habit to pattern my shells to detirmine if it's worth my time to use them and we owe to the game animals in which we're hunting to reduce cripples and make clean kills.I couldn't get any kind of pattern with these at all so i cut one open and couldn't believe what they put in these things.I bought a box of bb's and the shot size inside was as small as 6's in some case and the hevi-shot was so deformed there was no way it could fly straight.Should rename scrap-metal.

Not the greatest
The pattern of these shells at 40 yards using a Beretta Urika and modified Trulock choke were not the greatest. I got better pattern with Winchester Supreme. I cut open one of those shells to see what is inside. It had a mix of pellets, one type seems to be steel which was all of the same size and uniform shape, however, the heavy metal pellets were all deformed, with bumps, and of all sizes and shapes. I went geese hunting with these shells, they kill instantly when they hit. I never got a jam or a misfire, but I wouldn't expect these defects from shells with that price. After looking at the content of the shell and the pattern they produced I would feel very reluctant to buy them again.No

Not Sure
I'm not sure about these shells. I bought 3 boxes of 3 1/2", B's for a duck hunt last year. When I opened the boxes, they had a sand like material inside the boxes, which I know isn't good for a semi shotgun. I also had a shell not go off on a nice drake shoveler.
So I was a little disappointed in that aspect. On a good note, the ducks I shot at, did seem to fold on a regular basis!
So I think the knockdown power is good, but I'm a little skeptic on the quality of the shell!

My buddy shoots a Remington Versa-Max with the HeviShot Extreme Range tube. When using 3.5 inch #2 Hevi-Metal, he is geting 92% of the pellets in a 30 inch circle at 40 yards. He is very pleased with this tube and shell combo.

Everything fires at the same velocity, the difference is the density in the steel (50% of the load) and the hevishot (other 50% of the load). The heavier hevishot maintains its downrange energy better and therefore flies further and hits harder. At closer distances where the steel is effective, the smaller hevishot pellets just provide pattern density to fill any holes in the pattern.

These loads are a duplex load. They actually have 2 different kinds of pellets in them, on is a smaller Environmetal pellet and the other is a larger Steel pellet. this maximizes effective range and energy, and puts more pellets into the kill zone, or pattern. always remember to use the best chokes you can afford. i like to use the HEVI-Shot choke tubes for maximum effectiveness.

it makes alot of differance steel shot is light and doesnt patern well lead being best has high density shoots further and hits hard. hevi shot is a blend of iron and other metals alot hevier than steel. just not as heavy as lead. or you can buy tungsten or bismuth rounds and break the bank. they are denser than lead. your answer to density throw a sponge doesnt go far hits something no damage throw a brick the same size and damage

No you do not. As long as you are shooting a choke that is approved for steel you should be fine. But as always read the manufactors recomindations on what size and what loads to shoot through your choke

Nope! But HEVI-Shot choke tubes are specifically designed to maximize your pattern density with the heavier loads. We use these loads to minimize losses and cripples and to bag more birds at the end of the day. We use the chokes for the same reason!

no modified choke for larger shot size is recomended however any brand that fits your gun will do. choose a good choke that can handle steel if needed and you can use for all your needs ( kicks high flyer choke tubes )
